Answer/Explanation:

The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).

There are four main stages in the water cycle. They are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Let's look at each of these stages. Evaporation: This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas).

Hence it is quite important to understand and learn the processes of the water cycle.

Step 1: Evaporation. The water cycle starts with evaporation. ...

Step 2: Condensation. ...

Step 3: Sublimation. ...

Step 4: Precipitation. ...

Step 5: Transpiration. ...

Step 6: Runoff. ...

Step 7: Infiltration.

It is also known as the hydrological cycle or the hydrologic cycle. During the process of the water cycle between the earth and the atmosphere, water changes into three states of matter – solid, liquid and gas. The diagram of the water cycle is useful for both Class 9 and 10.
